Israeli Minister of Settlements and National Missions Orit Strock has
said she�s working to ensure Israel can annex as much land in the West
Bank as possible during the incoming Trump administration but said the Palestinians that live there don�t have rights to the land and
shouldn�t have the right to vote.

�My office is working at full throttle to ensure that if sovereignty [annexation] is applied, it will cover the maximum area possible,�
Strook told the Israeli media, according to Middle East Eye.

When asked what will happen to the Palestinians who live in the
occupied territory, Strock said, �All people have human rights, though
the national right over the land belongs solely to the people of
Israel. They can stay here, as human beings, of course, and to be a
Jewish state, we should grant them full human rights, in my view.�

When asked to clarify what rights the Palestinians would have, she
said, �national rights over this land belong only to the Jewish
people. I think a model needs to be found, but they shouldn�t be able
to vote for the Knesset [Israeli parliament], right?�

The Times of Israel reported this week that Trump aides have cautioned
Israeli ministers in recent months not to assume the president-elect
will back Israel supporting the West Bank. However, Trump�s
appointment of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as ambassador to
Israel signals the administration will back annexation.

Huckabee is an Evangelical Christian who believes God gave historic
Palestine to the modern state of Israel. He denies Israel is occupying
the West Bank, which he called �Judea and Samaria,� and has previously
claimed that there�s �no such thing as a Palestinian� and argued the Palestinians should be expelled to other Arab states.

In Huckabee�s first interview with Israeli media after Trump announced
he would be the envoy to Israel, the former governor was asked if the administration would support annexation of the West Bank. He said, �Of
course � There has never been an American president that has been more
helpful in securing an understanding of the sovereignty of Israel� and
I fully expect that will continue.�

There are still people who refuse to admit that the Zionists are every
bit as evil as the National Socialists. �There is none so blind as he
who will not see�
